Damien at the Speed of Life

My wife and I were discussing my previous post which was a hypothetical scenario on using whiteboards and dry erase markers to save paper. She raised a good point about kids needing something to “take home” and/or keep in their desk for reference and test prep. At first, I said making weekly copies of just the main objectives would be a solution but that is just without giving it major thought. Any ideas out there? As I sipped my Yuban this morning and prepared to write this reaction, I imagined a better and already used solution: those little yellow composition books. The kids could write the key objectives for each lesson, coached by you the teacher of course to ensure they get what counts. This of course would add cost to the yearly plan for paper … and that it what I am trying to avoid. So, it is back to the drawing board. My question now I am faced with is this: How do I get kids the lesson information to keep while using the least amount on paper?
